Materials for High Quality Windows – Fiberglass vs Wood vs Aluminum
We offer Marvin Windows in a variety of materials, including fiberglass, wood, and aluminum. Some Marvin Windows exclusively use Ultrex fiberglass, which is a proprietary material that is supremely durable yet customizable to fit your aesthetic tastes or design goals.
Wood exterior windows are often prized because of their aesthetic benefits. They can be painted in a variety of colors and offer a grained finish that is difficult to match. Marvin Windows also features extruded aluminum coastline window frames and sashes. Aluminum is used due to its low maintenance retirements and extra durability when exposed to saltwater.
However, many homeowners prefer fiberglass exterior windows. Fiberglass is eight times stronger than vinyl and is resists expanding or contracting, even with temperature or humidity changes. Furthermore, fiberglass can be painted or detailed to closely resemble wood with fade-resistant paint while without requiring as much maintenance.
What Does it Mean That Fiberglass Windows Are “Virtually Maintenance Free”?
Many of Marvin’s fiberglass windows are “virtually maintenance-free”. This means that you only rarely need to check on your windows for damage or wear and tear. Furthermore, you never need to worry about warping due to temperature changes or climate shifts as the months roll by.
However, you will still need to practice occasional maintenance (a few checks annually, in total) on fiberglass windows by:
- Checking the weather strip from time to time. The weather strip is a dedicated barrier between your window’s sash and frame to reduce water and air infiltration. Sometimes, the weather strip needs to be replaced
- Checking the window’s finish. If your fiberglass window has a wooden finish for aesthetics, you may need to touch this up from time to time
- Tightening screws and other mechanical parts
- Clean moving parts by making sure there is no grit or debris affecting their operation
- And more
